Daft Punk at Even Further 1996 - Official Footage

Video footage from Daft Punk's first live performance in the U.S.A. at Even Further in 1996 at Eagle Cave Campground in Wisconsin during Memorial Day Weekend. This video footage was shot by Brad Serdan of Reflections Video Productions. The video footage was re-mastered and digitized by Andrew Gundrum with my permission. It was originally shot with a Hi-8 Sony Camera and edited with linear video equipment. Even Further 1996 was organized and produced by Drop Bass Network, Woody McBride, and David Prince. Please like & subscribe to watch more videos including D.J. interviews from electronic dance music and underground rave history. I anticipate uploading dozens of videos from my analog archive in 2021.

Negative. This was the tour they did as soon as homework released. You can hear samples that later made it to discovery though…

[@michaelmartirosyan4453]

​@@PhilthAdelphiAIm pretty sure they were already touring for a little bit before Homework, So its totally possible that this was before homework especially since the crowd is pretty small compared to some of the insane crowds they had during the daftendirekt tour

[@Lakoopa2009]

​@@PhilthAdelphiAThey toured before homework but that was mainly when they were underground. They had pretty much made most of the songs in Homework long before it was released but they were mainly just for live shows or for singles that would be released by Soma records I'm pretty sure. They decided to release them as an album thru Virgin Records and held the daftendirektour throughout '97. At the beginning of the tour, not many people knew who they were. With the release of Homework and the success of it, by the end of the tour, more than 45% of the crowd knew who they were. Pretty cool!

[@Newtined]

da funk, indo silver club, rollin & scratchin, and alive all were released before homework as HW was meant to be a compilation of singles into an album.

I was 16 with a fake ID sneaking into clubs and going to raves and heard Around the World for the first time. Blew my mind and changed my life and musical tastes forever. I ended up moving to Europe in my twenties when euro dance music hadn’t hit America fully yet. Daft Punk was ground breaking in the 90s born from their own love of the Chicago House sound and really started the electronic dance music scene world wide. Interstella(r) geniuses!
